Safety Chains; Trailer Brakes - Hyundai H350 2016 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
Safety chains (if equipped)
You should always attach chains
between your vehicle and your trail-
er. Cross the safety chains under the
tongue of the trailer so that the
tongue will not drop to the road if it
becomes separated from the hitch.
Instructions about safety chains may
be provided by the hitch manufactur-
er or by the trailer manufacturer.
Follow the manufacturer's recom-
mendation for attaching
chains. Always leave just enough
slack so you can turn with your trail-
er. And, never allow safety chains to
drag on the ground.

Trailer brakes

If your trailer is equipped with a brak-
ing system, make sure it conforms to
your country's regulations and that it
is properly installed and operating
correctly.
If your trailer weight exceeds the
maximum allowed weight without
trailer brakes, then the trailer will also
require its own brakes as well. Be
sure to read and follow the instruc-
safety tions for the trailer brakes so you'll be
able to install, adjust and maintain
them properly.
• Don't tap into or modify your vehi-
cle's brake system.
WARNING
Do not use a trailer with its own
brakes unless you are absolute-
ly certain that you have proper-
ly set up the brake system. This
is not a task for amateurs. Use
an experienced,
trailer shop for this work.
NOTICE
The trailer brake should be mount-
ed to the fixation point at the trail-
er tow bar.
